That’s the irony, isn’t it? The bloodstains all over that tournament but, hey, a lot of obscenely wealthy people will get even wealthier so

83 break and Zhao Xintong wins 6-2. Disappointing for Jack but we'll played Zhao. I'm hoping now we'll have Luca Brecel vs Xhao Xintong final.

Congrats Zhao!
Seems like a good chance to have Chinese youngsters winning two of the three Triple Crown Events during 2021.

Good point.
Bingtao winning the Masters, and hopefully Zhao or Luca winning the UK.
Luca v Zhao Final would be immense.

Have you realised that Ding will be No 4 Chinese player in the rankings after the end of the UK Championship?

Zhao v Brecel Final would be great, but we'll likely get Wilson v Hawkins. The latter is also a good Final, both top players who deserve at least one TC title, who have been in the Final of Masters and WC before.

Expected Hawkins to play better in this match although he should win comfortably. Zhao beating him is possible but Hawkins obviously has a superior allround game than Jack so Zhao wont just outpot and outscore him.
